Mass Killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown Conn.
I woke up to the news report of a mass killing at an elementary school. Early reports at least 20 to 28 dead, mostly students.

I stopped by a store to get stocking-stuffer items for an 11 year old boy (Sunday School project) - reminded me of getting ready for Christmas when my kids were younger. Got out of the store, and was listening to the radio on my way to the office - heard the reporter talking in a sort of monotone about big numbers of kids and teachers killed by a gunman. By the time I got to work, I was bawling. I don't have an answer for any of this madness. Right now, I have nothing but sadness.

I think serious gun control needs to over power the NRA.

I don't need to personally be effected to see the urgency with this problem. Others a blind because of selfish reasons that they use weak arguments to justify.
